Yes, you heard right. We are taking a break from pop-up workshops, but not without a better offer in exchange. Warp x Weft: Textile 101 workshops are now happening on the Fourth floor of Britex!

Many of you joined us last year all over San Francisco for demos and workshops like simple dress-making by Sonya Philip at Makeshift Society, leather-working by Melissa Fleis at the NWBLK, and of course, textile workshops by our very own textile whiz Geana Sieburger.

Now with our new workshop space on the Fourth Floor, we first bring you Warp x Weft: Textile 101---a 2-hour fiber and textile construction intensive. Next in-store are workshops from designers, artists and other experts, so stay tuned.

If you love to sew, get giddy over textiles and feel immense joy learning about these things in groups of people who feel the same way about sewing and textiles, don't take a chance---subscribe to the newsletter at the footer of this page or on our homepage and never miss an opportunity. New workshops, demos and events are currently under development...

Britex Fabrics made a surprise appearance on Project Runway Episode 13 with San Francisco favorite Melissa Fleis. Douglas, from Britex Fabrics’ 1st floor, has worked with Melissa through the years; he says she is lovely and has a “great sense of style”! Where is Britex? Our iconic 60th anniversary tote bag surreptitiously hangs on a wall rack in the background as Tim Gunn critiques her work.
